We are the Eagles

We rise with purpose, strength, and vision—breaking barriers and soaring beyond limits.

About the Movement

In Tanzania, MsichanaTai Organization has launched the Eagle Transformative Movement, a bold and visionary initiative aiming to mobilize and empower over 5 million girls and boys across the country and beyond. This movement is grounded in the powerful belief that they are eagles—not chickens—destined to soar high, unlock their full potential, and lead transformative change in themselves, their communities and beyond.

The Foundation of the Movement

The foundation of the Eagle Movement is inspired by the belief of the Late Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere (1944), who said that women must free themselves from the weakness imposed by a society that compares them to chickens—when in fact, women possess the strength of eagles.

Who is an Eagle?

The eagle is one of the most iconic birds in the world. It symbolizes strength, freedom, and unwavering purpose. An eagle is known for its exceptional hunting skills and sharp vision—it can see up to seven times farther than a human being.
